After chest pains sent him into a D.C. hospital on Monday, former vice president Dick Cheney is "feeling good" according to his office. This morning, Cheney was released from George Washington Hospital, which treated him for this "mild heart attack"; it was Cheney's fifth heart attack, so maybe he is a "veritable poster boy" for progress in cardiovascular health. Former president George W. Bush as well as Vice President Joe Biden called Cheney while he was in the hospital—and don't worry, he's expected to resume his normal schedule of slamming the Obama administration shortly.
